"The Sims®" the next step in the storied franchise for release 2022

I mean, basically... you just described 'Second Life'...

That's a product that has limped along now for 2 decades with a stable but not growing audience because that kind of experience is seriously NOT for everyone.

It's also only survived because all the stupid people can get up to there is anonymous - it is NOT connected to social media. Connect it to social media and watch it die in about 2.3 seconds.
